A Sen­ate bill wants to even an 'un­lev­el play­ing field' for do­mes­tic, for­eign in­spec­tion drop-ins amid back­log

Amid geopo­lit­i­cal ten­sions be­tween the US and Chi­na, two Re­pub­li­can sen­a­tors are call­ing for a bill that would aim to strike a bal­ance on do­mes­tic and for­eign in­spec­tion re­quire­ments from the FDA.

Sens. Mike Braun (R-IN) and Joni Ernst (R-IA) have penned a bill called the Cre­at­ing Ef­fi­cien­cy in For­eign In­spec­tions Act. It con­tains a bit of rhetoric, high­light­ing “com­mu­nist Chi­na” not once, but twice in the re­lease, but states that the goal is to even the play­ing field be­tween for­eign and Amer­i­can man­u­fac­tur­ers.
